Rowdoin and Cornell.

The Inter Collegiate Rowing Association
will hold its annual regatta at Lake Quinsig-
amond, Worcester, July 9th. Bowdoin and
Cornell will have their tours there this week,
the former today and the latter Thursday.
At one time it seemed as though these would
be the only crews to row, and it is evident
now the contest must be between them, the
University of Pennsylvania having got into
faster company through the consent of the
Yale crew to row them, and the arrangement
OF race between their freshmen and those
of Yale. They have little inclination and
less money for the support of four to row
Cornell and Bowdoin. Accordingly they
have not trained one, but on the promise Of
Mr. Bigelow to pay their expenses they have
agreed to send crew on. Presumably they
will select it from their eight, and the trained
tours OF Cornell and Bowdoin ought to beat
1t easily. Columbia has not had four in
the association race for three years, and is
accordingly barred by their rules. Fred
Plaisted of this city is training the Bowdoin
crew.

the Barnaby, Karl, Macdonald combination,
has been announced. That of the old-new
Ideals is now made public. Miss Zelie de

Meeting at the State house-Part
Taken by Berdan's Sharpshooters.

The executive committee of the Gettysburg
Commission met in the Senate Chamber, Au-
gusta, on the 18th inst, at IL o'clock a. m.
Gen. Charles Hamlin of Bangor, Col. Charles
b. Merrill of Portland, Col. Francis E.
Heath of Wateryille, Maj. Sidney w. Thax-
ter of Portland, and Maj. G. T. Stevens of
Oakland. were present.
The committee organized by the choice of
Gen. Charles Hamlin as chairman, and Mai.
G. I. Stevens as secretary.
A communication was received through
His Excellency. the Governor, from John B.
Bachelor of Hyde Park, Mass, the Gettys-
burg historian, in relation to the Historical
accuracy of the legends on the monuments to
be erected on that field" which was read by
Gen. Hamlin and placed ON file. A cemmu-
nication was read by Maj. Thaxter from Col.
G. ii. Smith of the 10Th Regiment of Infan-
try. U. S. A. who commanded the First
Maine Cavalry at the battle of Gettysburg,
giving an account of the part taken by that
regiment IN that engagement. Col. Merrill
was Instructed to ascertain the part taken
by the Maine Sharpshooters in that battle
and report at the next meeting of the COM
mittee.. One of the companies of Berdan's
Sharpshooters was from Maine, and it is
proposed to give to Maine one face of the
monument that is to be erected on the field
to the memory of that organization. The
resolution passed by the legislature, howev-
er, does not allow the commission to expend
money for this, as Berdan's Company of
Maine Sharpshooters was not specified
among the Maine organizations. AS some
doubts were expressed whether the Maine
Company was present at the battle of Get
tysbnrg the committee took measures to as
certain the truth about it.
:, The committee, on motion of Col. Heath,
directed the secretary to issue circular call
ing upon each regiment, battery and compa-
ny from Maine, through its representative ON
the Gettysburg Commission, to furnish the
executive committee, as soon as practicable,
with the design of the monument that each
organization desire to have erected on the
battlefield to mark the position each occu-
pied. In making the selection, each regiment
was directed to be governed by the fact that
no design could be accepted that would ex-

A couple of Italians who arrived here
Saturday created considerable sport by chas-

old style as it calls for more exertion and its
results are hardly satisfactory.

Rochester railroad, and several other rail-
way men, including civil engineer from
Providence, arrived at West Stewartstown,
Saturday evening. 1t is understood in rail-

north on business connected with the pro-

Colebrook to North Stratford or Groveton,
both on the Grand Trunk railroad, the latter
place being the upper terminus of the White
Mountain division lof the Boston q Lowell

RAILWAY MATTERS.

BANGOR AND THE PENoBscoT CENTRAL,
AT meeting of the directors of the Penob-
scot Central Railroad Company, held in Ban
gor last Wednesday, the proceedings of
which have just been made public, it was
voted to lease the railroad when built, to the
Bangor & Piscataquis Railroad Company for
the term of twenty years, at rental of $685.
600 per annum. At meeting of the direct
ors OF the Bangor & Piscataquis Railroad
Company, held Saturday afternoon, William
l. Pearson, ESQ.,, president of the Penobscot
Central, formally rendered the offer to lease
to the former company.
In making his announcement of the offer
Mr.. Pearson spoke at some length, saying
that he believed the arrangement now pro-
posed would be for the interest of the city,
and such as she ought to accept. If it was
decided otherwise, however, he would state
that other parties stood ready to close con-
tract on terms which were better for the Pc
nobscot Central than those offered to Bangor
by his company. The subject was held for
consideration at an adjourned meeting to be
held next Thursday
